Faasi-qiina– (the miscreants), this word is plural ofFaasiq, which has been derived from the word fisq, which means
“transgression”. According to the Divine
Law, refraining from Obedience of God Almighty and indulging in evil deeds.

Allah Almighty described
various sorts of resemblances for causing to understand the people. Some of
them meditate into them and after learning, they find the Guidance. But some
people argue rudely and go astray. Those who found Guidance, they are
Believers; who use their powers of thinking and beholding correctly.

There are many
ways to reach the destination in the world but from these all, there is only
one way which can be Straight. Allah Almighty bestowed sense and wisdom to the
mankind. Not only this, but He sent Messages by means of His Messengers (Peace
be upon Them) for the Path of Guidance. After that, the mankind is entitled to
choose a way which he wants. Now, if any person, reaping advantage of choice,
chooses a wrong way, then he falls in evil. And when he adopts evil himself,
then other accessories of that way are provided. As putting the hand into the
fire, it gets burnt, like this; when a person adopts a wrong path; then evils
and harms of that path increase gradually.

According to this verse,
due to likenesses of Allah Almighty, many people go astray because of their
reasoning absurdly and arguments. They don’t think about the purpose of these
examples, but waste their powers of thinking on criticizing against it.Faasiqiin(the miscreants), who run behind their evil desires and are not
ready to hear any such conversation easily; which may prevent them from their
bad habits.

At the end of the verse,
God Almighty has manifested it more clearly that the straying includes only
them; who wish to go astray. Allah Almighty does not attach the depravity upon
anyone, but his heart is disgusted due to continuous intentional disobedience.
And the quest of the truth and seeking the Right does not remain more. Absurd
and a lie make room in the heart, as though, the deviation is consequence of
their continuous disobedience, being miscreant and evildoer.

For causing to
understand the people, Allah Almighty describes the people by giving
resemblances. The aim of these examples is that the people should understand
the Commandments of God Almighty clearly, not that they should begin absurd
reasoning and contradiction.

It has been explained in
this lesson that the Believers take this example as true and proper explainer
and consider it right from God. But the Infidels begin to deride on these
examples and they ask as satire that what God Almighty means by giving these
kinds of resemblances?

The Believers have full
faith in it that God Almighty is Worshipped and Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) is His True Messenger. They consider it their
first duty to obey the Commands of God Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), and act upon them. They believe in Their
Sayings with true heart. Therefore, if God Almighty mentions any similitude,
they try to understand its true object. They don’t care that the similitude is
of what sort itself? Whether is it customary or have some importance? Whether
any superior thing has been described in it or inferior? Moreover, they think
about its true purpose and learn from it.

The Infidels deny Allah
Almighty and disbelieve in His Prophet (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). They don’t have any interest to find the
Just. They just keep watching the secrets in the verses; either to find out
faults or criticize unnecessarily. So, whenever Allah Almighty describes any
likeness for their consideration, then in spite of trying to understand its
true meanings, they begin to raise unreasonable questions regarding it and ask
from the Believers as satire: What does God desire by giving such kind of
similitude?

In this verse, there is
a lesson that the Believers and the people who have good moral character are
those; who think about the similitude; explained by Allah Almighty, try to
understand it and give up irregular debate.

In the previous verses, God
Almighty invited the disbelievers and infidels for proving the truth of
Holy Qur’aan that if they consider that it is not Word of God
(we seek refuge in God), then they should produce any Word like this. But they
could neither give its answer till to-date and nor may they until the Doomsday.
In such condition of helplessness, they could do nothing. However they began to
find faults in the HolyQur’aanand said: How is it an extraordinary that God,
having too much high position and greatness, gives similitude of so
contemptible and lean things?

The fact is that mention
of the biggest creatures has also come in the Holy Qur’aanat different places as well as the smallest too.
Where animals like elephants, camels and horses etc. have been mentioned, there
is ant, fly and mosquito etc. also. For causing to understand the people, God
has described similes of these animals. For example; somewhere He says that
idols of infidels are too weak and helpless to create a fly. But when a fly or
mosquito sits on their faces they cannot let it fly. Somewhere He says that the
religion of the Infidels is weak like spider’s web. Hearing such similitude,
some Infidels began to say that God of Muslims speaks so strange (we seek
refuge in Allah) that He does not hesitate to mention likenesses of so small
things. God replied to their criticism in this verse.

Similitude means “such
thing, for which the example is given, should be impressed upon mind to bold
and bright. Now that simile will be the best which fulfills this object,
whether that thing is much customary or small itself. The mosquito is a too
much ignoble and unimportant creature. Now where there is a need to explain
unreality of the idols or any other creature, there example of mosquito will be
appropriate. Criticizing it is proof of folly and immaturity.

Summary of above
mentioned verse is that Allah Almighty does not hesitate from giving similitude
of a mosquito or smaller thing than it, because purpose of giving example is to
explain about something. The example will be given as something exists. There
is nothing to hesitate or take bad from it.

25b. As often as
they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof, they say: This is what was
given us aforetime and it is given to them in resemblance. There for them are
pure companions and therein they abide for ever.

Mutah-haratun – (the pure). It aims the companions
(wives/husbands) favored to every person in the Paradise, they will
be pure and chaste in all respect. They will be far from the filth of body and
soul.

Khaaliduuna – (will abide for ever). This word has
been derived fromkhaluud, which means “to abide for ever”, that is to say;
they will never be removed from the Paradise. So, one name of the Paradise isJannat Khuld.

In this verse, Allah
Almighty has explained with more detail about the rewards; which will be given
to the Believers and Pious people. Usually, which things are essential for
living a good life, an individual desires; a fine and well furnished house,
delicious and tasteful meals and cold for eating and drinking respectively,
pure, beautiful and pious companion, rest and comfort for ever; that is to say;
there must be no fear of ending and destruction of such things, which he/she
possesses . Moreover, he/she would have faith that oneself will reap advantage
always from these things.

God Almighty has
promised with the Believers for the things like these i.e. the people, who will
believe, during this worldly life time, in Oneness of God Almighty, His
Prophets/Messengers and His Angels (Peace be upon Them), His Holy Scriptures,
being alive again on the Day of Resurrection, good or bad fate from Allah
Almighty, and who will act upon His commandments and the Sayings of His last
Messenger(SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), they will be admitted in such Paradise, after
the life of this world, where they will live in the beautiful Gardens. They
will be served with such different kinds of fruit, which, in shape will be like
the fruit of this world but by taste, relish and fragrance, those will be much
superior to the fruit of this world.

Because,
the Paradise is a home of every kind of material and spiritual
pleasures and comforts, therefore, it will be their good fortune that their
companions will be pure, clean and chaste. There, they will have never any fear
that any of their pleasures or comfort will be lessened a little or withdrawn
from them. But God Almighty will assure them that these all favors are
permanent, durable and forever. They are lucky, who are rightful owners of that
Paradise. Allah Almighty bless all of us with such kind of Belief.

‘Aa-manuu – (They believed). Those
people who have not any doubt in the Divinity of God, Prophet-hood of the
Messenger ‘Muhammad’ (Peace be upon Him) and the Truth of Holy Qur’aan.

Wa ‘amilus-Saali-haati – (do good
works). It aims such works which are according to the guidance of Holy Qur’aan and
Sayings of the Messenger (peace be upon Him), pure from badness and
crookedness.

To prove the Truth of HolyQur’aan, the Infidels
and unbelievers were challenged in the previous verses thatif they were in doubt
concerning that which God Almighty has revealed unto His slave
(Muhammad), then they should produce aSurahof the like thereof ,
and call their witnesses beside Allah if they were truthful. But with effect
from that period, no human being of the world could produce the answer to this
challenge till today. And as God Almighty has described along with it that they
can never do it. Therefore they were warned also about the punishment of this
denial and accusing of false-hood. That is to say; they will be thrown in such
Fire of the Hell, fuel of which is men and stones.

In this verse good tidings have been given to those who believe,
against the disbelievers, and do good works; that they will enter in such
Gardens (Paradise) where all facilities of comfort and pleasure will be existed
for them. The rivers of cool and flavored water will be flowing into them.

Now it is clear that for being rightful resident of the Heaven and
for entering into it, two excellences are necessary for the human being:

·There must be no
doubt in one’s heart regarding God Almighty and His Prophet(SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). (He should perceive that his
worshiped, Lord and Master is Allah Almighty, promise that the Messenger of God(SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)is true, believe
that the Holy Qur’aan is the Word of God and have faith in the
Day of Resurrection i.e. the Belief in the next life after death of this
world’s life).

·His all deeds
must be according to the commandments of HolyQur'aanand Sayings of
the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him). He should never give up any such work
which has been ordered and instructed as mentioned above. He should never
commit any forbidden work.

We learnt from the Summary of this verse that the Paradise
cannot be attained only with good works, till Belief and Faith do not exist in
the heart along with it, which is called “Obedience”. Just like this, good
works are necessary also with the Belief.

Wa-quudu-han-naasu wal-hijaa-ratu – (Its fuel
is of men and stones). It is indicated towards the Fire of the Hell, which will
be very rigorous. It will burn the stones also in addition to the human beings.
As though, the Idols of stones will be its fuel too. The indication from the
word‘Al-Hijaa-ratunmay be towards the cruel humankind.

In the previous lesson, the opponents were invited for competition
against the Holy Qur’aan. Now, they are being told: if you may not
face, and We say that you shall never be able to fulfill the demand ofQur’aan, then it is obvious that it is the Word of God. And it has been
disclosed that the Messenger, Muhammad(SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)is the True
Prophet. Now if you do not have faith in the Prophet-hood of ‘Muhammad’(SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)and do not act
upon the commandments of Holy Qur’aan, it shall be the Base of the
Hell’s Agony. So, you must arrange to be saved from it, because the Fire of
Hell is not any normal fire. But that is such Fire; fuel of which will be men
and stones. And this Fire has been prepared for such people; who contradict the
commandments of Islam, Prophet-hood of Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam), the Truth of
the Divine precepts of Islam and purity of HolyQur’aan.

Some more matters have also been cleared from this verse:

·The matter in
which the enemies of Islam; particularly “the Quresh” had big
pretension, that is to say “Purity of the words and to cause to understand the
meanings easily”, making them humble in the same, it was proved that this Word
is of Allah Almighty.

·False gods; which
the people have adopted instead of One God (Allah Almighty) and ask them for
their desires, those all were refuted.

·Punishment of
infidelity was fixed i.e. the Hell.

We should have no doubt in the Divinity of the Holy Qur’aan,
the Truth of Islam, sincerity and honesty of the Messenger ‘Muhammad’(SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)because if the
entire human beings try collectively to write any one, small chapter like the
Chapters of the Holy Qur’aan, they cannot bring (in which all those
excellence must exist which exist in this Word of God Almighty). Some of the
excellence are: pure words, eloquence and rhetoric, preaching of good manners,
explaining the meanings excellently, material for relief and guidance of all
people, instructions for the mankind in the entire fields of difficulties and
problems, useful equally for all the nations of the world etc.

Holy Qur’aan is
a proof of its truth itself. It claims that if unbelievers do not accept it as
the Word of God, then they must produce any Word like this by producing
themselves. If HolyQur’aanis made by any humankind or it has been invented
by the Messenger(SallAllaahu alayHi
wa AaliHii Wasallam) Himself
(Let us flee to God), then they certainly can succeed in creation of such word.

God Almighty commanded
in one verse of Holy Qur’aan, “Make and produce ten surahs (Chapters)
like Holy Qur’aan”. At another place commanded, “Bring only three
like this written by you”, and in this Surah, it is commanded, “if
not, then produce at least one Surah like this, which should
be created by you. You can call and collect your all protecting friends to try,
but there is only one condition that your Word would have all those literal and
meaningful qualities, which are held in this Word of God, and your Word should
affect the life of human being as the Chapters of Holy Qur’aan”.

Before Islam, the Arab
nation was in the rear from other nations in many matters. Morally, she had
lost spirit of humanity. Socially and economically they were at the lowest
stage. They did not have any political sense. They were plain from the
conception of the religion. Indeed they were brave, but ignorance and bigotry
had made them idiots and oppressors.

Allah Almighty revealed
this Holy Word upon His last Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and by means of it, this nation became
Spiritual Guide of the entire world. The Messenger of God Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) had never learned from any human being
teacher. He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam) did not know “How to
read or write” absolutely. He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) did not have any information about any other
part of the world. The people of His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) country were also illiterate and they were
proud of being ignorant and illiterate.

With the Word of God
(HolyQur’aan), the Illiterate Prophet (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) carried His illiterate and ignorant nation on
such stages of development and perfection that there is no comparison to them
in the history of the world. The same Arabians became Guides of the nations of
the world in morality, spiritualism, sociology, economics, politics,
sovereignty and the religion i.e. every field of life.

In the Islamic history
of one thousand four hundred years, no scholar or learned person could accept
this challenge of HolyQur’aan.During the time of Caliph Haroon Rasheed,Ibn maqna’ and some centuries earlier, the scholars and writers
of Lebanon tried boundless, but they could not write the answer of even
seven verses of “The Opening” (Surah ‘al-Faatihah).
